"The president isn’t even trying to sound coherent anymore. At a White House press conference, Trump simply read documents to himself. Just, wow."

Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:

“Your lover’s not going to be killed anymore, so he can act like a real lover. You can walk right through the middle of the town. And D.C. is beautiful again too.”

Trump marks first year back in office with cruelty and lies

Donald Trump marked the one-year anniversary of his return to the presidency with a press conference on Tuesday. However, instead of addressing the issues on which his administration is failing, Trump rambled and ranted about a host of other topics.

Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:

“I grew up in Queens, we had a place called Creedmoor [Psychiatric Center]. Creedmoor. Did anybody know that? Creedmoor. It was a big … I said, ‘Mom, why are those bars on the building?’ I used to play little league baseball there at a place called Cunningham Park. I was quite the baseball player, you wouldn't believe."

What the hell is Trump talking about?

President Donald Trump gave a long—and very ponderous—press conference Tuesday, stepping in for propaganda princess Karoline Leavitt.

But I said to my mother, ‘Mom,’ she would be there, always there for me. She said, ‘Son, you could be a professional baseball player.’ I said, ‘Thanks, mom.’ I said, ‘Why are those bars on the windows?'"

It wasn't normal, you know? You're used to looking at, like, a window."

"But this one you're looking at all the steel—vicious steel, tiny windows, bars all over the place. Nobody was getting out. It's called the mental institution. That was an insane asylum.”

The point of that weave seems to have been that Democrats either created inhumane mental institutions or had a hand in ending them and placing mentally ill people on the streets — something it's well known Reagan did.

Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:

“‘To me, a town looks better when you have military people [on the streets].’
That was but one of the many, many 5-alarm fire-worthy statements the former leader of the free world slurred before a packed scrum of reporters at a White House press briefing yesterday afternoon, mere hours after he terminated the Western world order.”

Donald Trump dismantles the Western world order, foreign leaders unite against the US, and chaos continues to erupt in US streets.

Things Trump said as he rambled and slurred yesterday:

“I should’ve gotten the Nobel Prize for each war, but I don’t say that. I saved millions and millions of people. And don’t let anyone tell you that Norway doesn’t control the shots, ok? It’s in Norway. Norway controls the shots. They’ll say, ‘We have nothing to do with it.’ It’s a joke."

World leaders are gathered at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which is taking place from January 19 to January 23.

^{Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)}

"They’ve lost such prestige. Got all—that’s why I have such respect for Maria doing what she did. She said, ‘I don’t deserve the Nobel Prize, he does.’ When she got it, they named—they said, ‘Wow that’s amazing, I thought President Trump would get it.’”

But for Trump's Treasury Secretary, it's unfair to quote Trump's words

"Trump himself has told us what’s going on: he’s throwing a temper tantrum over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize — not how he put it, but that was the gist of his text to Norway’s prime minister. And there’s no reason to disbelieve him, even though Scott Bessent says that quoting Trump’s own words is a 'complete canard.'”

MAGA Delusions of Economic Leverage

Europe can easily stand up to Trump’s bullying

^{Paul Krugman}

"All I can say is that this is a letter [by Trump to the Norwegian PM] whose every sentence could never have been written by any predecessor, and which provides overpowering evidence for invoking the Twenty-Fifth."

Unfit. Unhinged. Unchecked.

A veteran journalist makes the case that Trump’s erratic, dangerous conduct now meets the constitutional threshold for removal under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

^{Blue Amp Media}

"Some call Trump’s threats against an ally 'insane' or 'mad king' behavior—and it is by traditional American values—but it fits an aspiring autocrat who called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 'savvy' and 'genius,' an anti-democracy narcissist who sees wealth and glory for himself as a paramount national interest," (continued in /14)

With Greenland Threats, Trump is Destroying the Western Alliance

A point-by-point breakdown of Donald Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre about a Nobel Peace Prize and control of Greenland

^{Nicholas Grossman (Arc Digital)}

"a liar who frequently screwed over business partners, a convicted criminal who thinks it’s unfair if laws apply to him, and a rapist who likes taking things without consent.

None of that was remotely hidden when Americans decided to elect him a second time."
